Subject: [PATCH 1/2] mm: decrement MTHP_STAT_NR_ANON in free_zone_device_folio()
Date: Thu, 2 Jul 2026 11:25:46 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260702172548.37075-2-npache@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260702172548.37075-1-npache@redhat.com>
When a zone device folio is mapped as anonymous, folio_add_new_anon_rmap()
increments MTHP_STAT_NR_ANON. The corresponding decrement lives in
__free_pages_prepare() in page_alloc.c, but zone device folios are freed
via free_zone_device_folio() which never calls __free_pages_prepare().
This causes nr_anon to remain permanently elevated after zone device
folios are freed.
Add the missing mod_mthp_stat() decrement to free_zone_device_folio()
so that the counter is properly balanced.
Fixes: 5d65c8d758f2 ("mm: count the number of anonymous THPs per size")
